The Complete Book of US Presidents, Fourth Edition: Updated for 2021

~ I am loving this book ~ I purchased to educate myself more in depth about our Past presidents ~ I watched a min series on HBO Max called John Adams and it prompted me to want to learn much more ~ I'm in my 60's so it's been many years since I was in school and when we age we tend to forget important things ~ Enjoy this book filled with photos and in depth info of our presidents and their lives and wives too ~

I like how this book pays attention to the lesser known presidents instead of doing what most history books do and gloss over them to focus on the cool kids. It gives a great context for some less understood eras in US history. What was going on between the birth of the nation and the pre Civil War era, for example? Exploring why certain presidents got elected and what they hoped to accomplish while in office offers great insight in that regard. I think it was reasonably balanced in its depiction of some of the more controversial figures. Of course the Trumpsters are going to blow a fuse because he isn't portrayed as a god among men, but give or take a SCOTUS nomination count error, the facts are presented well and it paints a useful and enlightening picture of where the nation was at the time of each president's term.

Anyone who enjoys learning about the presidents. Would love this book. Well written and easy to check out information on all our current and past presidents.

One of my granddaughters has already used this book as source material for a project on James Madison. This book provided almost all of the information that was required for that Middle School project. Dates of birth and death, anecdotes about the first lady and children, stories about the important moments of the presidency and information on where he lived and died. The pictures are wonderful and the book is laid out well, making it interesting to read and easy to understand.

I'm homeschooling my grandson and I felt it was important for him to learn about presidents. He really likes the book. I felt it was priced well for a hard covered book. Very informative and interesting. I'm learning right along with him!

Some presidents' information is more detailed than other. I enjoyed reading about the role of the First Ladies. I haven't finished the book yet so I can't give a review on the entire book.

I get so much excitement out of the books I purchase on Amazon. The Complete Book of US Presidents was loaded with history that I learned so long ago in school. The book was revised and updated to include all the presidents. I have been reading more books since the start of the pandemic and so glad to be able to find a wide selection on Amazon. I am overjoyed to find so many excellent books to read while shelter in place.

This book is not an in-depth biography of our presidents but a clear, easily read summary of the high points and low points of his presidency. The summaries include information on each President’s wife and Vice President. The encyclopedia is quickly updated when a new President is elected. When I bought the book, I did not want to become a presidential historian but I wanted to recognize each President enough to understand their place in history. The Complete Book Of US Presidents was perfect for achieving this goal. The information is presented from a centrist’s viewpoint, leaning neither left or right.

Whole family loves this books. Beautiful pictures. Well written and put together. Informative. Highly recommended.

For the price this is an amazing, well put together book. Full of quality pictures and interesting information about each and ever President right up to Joe Biden.

Excellent

Je cherchais un livre sur tous les présidents des États-Unis et ce livre me comble de bonheur. Les vice- présidents y sont ainsi que leurs épouses. Toutes leur réalisation y sont aussi. En résumé, un livre complet et bien illustré. Un très Bon Achat. Merry Beaucoup 🙏 Robert Payer

I love this book. So easy to read and you learn such a lot about the guys from 1789 onwards. I looked at the four presidents on Mount Rushmore with new admiration after reading their biogs. Those guys achieved such a lot (at the expense of a lot of native Americans sadly.)
